Fireworks at risk as funding dwindles

In a recent government meeting, officials discussed the upcoming fireworks ceremony organized by the Greensboro Kiwanis Club, a tradition that has been ongoing since the 1970s. The event is scheduled for 8 PM and will feature various food vendors, encouraging attendees to bring money for purchases.

Susan Burdick, president of the Kiwanis Club, along with Gail Jackson, appeared on WCTV to promote the event and highlight the club's ongoing challenges. Despite its long history, the Kiwanis Club has seen a decline in membership and funding, raising concerns that this year's fireworks could be the last if financial support is not secured.

Officials urged community members, particularly those with the means to contribute, to consider sponsorship opportunities to help sustain this beloved local event. The meeting underscored the importance of community involvement in preserving traditions that enhance local culture and unity.
